In this episode, singer-songwriter, producer, and Country Music Hall of Fame member Mac McAnally reflects on his journey from the small town of Belmont, Mississippi, to playing sold-out shows around the world. A master storyteller with deep roots in the South, Mac talks about how Mississippi shaped his sense of melody, lyrics, and humility—and why he still carries that small-town spirit onto every stage.
Along the way, he shares stories of playing with Jimmy Buffett, producing albums for other Mississippi greats, and why he believes music is both a map and a memory. It’s a conversation full of wisdom, warmth, and a deep love for the people and places that made him who he is.
